| Pakistan seizes main Taliban bases, hunts rebels |
| 2009-11-17 |
| Pakistani forces have captured most main Taliban bases in their offensive in South Waziristan and will soon fan out into the rugged countryside to hunt for militants there, commanders said on Tuesday. Soldiers have advanced faster than expected in their month-long offensive, seizing main roads and Taliban bases but militant leaders have apparently melted away while their bombers have unleashed carnage in towns. That's why the bad guyz' casualties have been so low -- they've literally headed for the hills. Chief military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told reporters on a trip to South Waziristan with the army that some militants might have slipped out the region but many were hiding. "We still believe many are still here. They have gone to the countryside, the forested areas, to villages and into the caves," Abbas said. "After taking complete control of the roads and the tracks, we are going to chase them in the forested areas, wherever they are hiding in the countryside," he said. |
